As of January 1, 2010 – athletes who set an American Record in the events
listed below must submit to doping control immediately following the event where
the record was established in order for the record to be ratified by USA Track &
Field (USATF). USA Track & Field will accept results that are conducted by USADA
(or Drug Free Sport in cases of NCAA athletes) within 24 hours of the conclusion
of the event.

If the event has doping control – the athlete must be tested immediately, but
if the record occurs at an event (on American soil) where testing is not in
place, then event organizers and/or athletes (or their representatives) must
contact USADA to request testing. If an American Record is achieved at your event
and doping control is not already in place, please contact USATF’s Talia Mark
at 317-713-4650 or talia.mark@usatf.org.
The cost for testing is covered by the athlete’s national
federation, or in the case of American records, by USA Track & Field. If USADA
is conducting the test, they are aware of the payment plan and will bill USATF

If this occurs internationally – athletes (or their representatives) must notify
the event directors to coordinate a request to be tested by a WADA-accredited
testing agency. In the case of a relay event – all competing relay team members
must be tested. USA Track & Field will cover the costs of doping control tests
for events that are recognized by the IAAF as World Record events, and the
invoice as well as results should be submitted to the USA Track & Field National
Office.

Events Subject to Testing - Open events only, this does not
include Junior American Records, Youth American Records or Master American
Records.
